Find Out How

What is a facilitator?

A facilitator guides discussions – whether it’s a problem to be solved, or a decision to be made, or simply to gather information. A facilitator keeps conversations on topic, makes sure everyone gets a chance to voice their thoughts, and frames questions in a way that could challenge thinking and/or lead to new ideas.
RHL Strategies can work with you to design and conduct your journey of discovery. YOU focus on *content*. RHL Strategies focuses on the *process*.

Strategic Planning Services

RHL Strategies provides Strategic Planning consulting and coaching for you to create your unique Strategic Plan for the next three years or so.

A Strategic Plan is an essential tool for guiding the work of your organization. Yes, it is about setting Goals for the foreseeable future. But there is more: A good Strategic Planning process helps you to examine and define who you are, what you do and for whom, and provides a roadmap for the next two or three years for you to carry out your Mission.

RHL Strategies believes that now is the time for an in-depth Planning process, especially if you have not conducted one in more than three years. With so many changes going on in our world, it is possible that some parts of your work may need to be revisited and perhaps tweaked or amended.

A good assessment of your foundations is critical for a meaningful set of Goals and Objectives.

RHL Strategies will guide you in:

Revisiting your Vision, Mission and Values statements, and strategies.
Assessing your programs
Conducting SWOT analyses

With the information gathered in each of these steps, you will then be ready to determine what Goals you want to focus on for the foreseeable future, and what you need to do (Objectives) to achieve them.

Make your next conference awesome!

Whether your next workshop or conference is virtual or in person, you probably would like for your attendees to go away with a sense that it was pretty amazing. How can you do that?
We are not talking about the decorations or the food. We are talking about connection - how attendees feel connected to the topic, to each other, and to your organization. At the end of the day, do they want to do something? How or what do you want them to remember?

Our Guiding Principles

Change happens in small groups.
It’s all about the right questions (sometimes we get “stuck” and the right question can lead us to new ways of thinking)
Focus on what Is possible, rather than what needs to be “fixed.”
Everyone has something to bring to the table – and to contribute.
Discussions are about ideas, not people.
Diversity of people, of viewpoints, of ideas bring unexpected, and powerful results. (The whole can be greater than the sum of the parts).

“I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing Robin facilitate groups large and small over the years and credit her for a lot of what I know about facilitation and community engagement! There are several stories that come to mind, but the most memorable was a charrette in Moultonborough. As per usual, we planned on multiple small groups with facilitators and note takers, but when 250+ people arrived for the community listening session I had no idea what to do! Luckily, Robin wasn’t phased – she calmly and quickly put together a plan. She had small groups self-facilitate and asked the facilitators to spread out and offer assistance to the small groups as needed. She brilliantly kept the listening session productive and moving. I was in awe – Robin is truly capable of handling anything that comes her way with poise.”
